Hate to burst your bubble. As much as I dislike the things Crowder said about the Porter situation. But IMHO, Crowder is one of the smartest guys on the team.. How football smart he is... is another story.

I still think Crowder can thrive in our Defense if he moves over to Ayodele's spot and we plug a stud in where he's at. IE: McClain or someone else along those lines. Relying on a guy who isn't very good at taking angles to be our go to run stopper.. isn't very wise. Hence, YB being the leading tackler.. again.

Are we talking about the same guy? Channing Crowder? The guy who has run his mouth and not done anything special since coming into the league. Channing Crowder, the guy that doesn't know where or what London is. Channing Crowder, the guy that got his long locks grabbed onto and his head punched in. Channing Crowder, the guy who is consistently out of place...

I don't care what sort of smart you're talking about, Crowder is not it. If anything, that's the only thing you can say for sure about the guy is that he's dumb.

Just because a guy runs his mouth.. Does not make him an idiot. Maybe unwise. But, not unintelligent by any means. The other things you mentioned have nothing to do with his intelligence.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

Well what evidence do you have of him being smart, let alone the smartest on the team? What is intelligence to you? Because I thought knowing things showed whether or not you were smart, and not knowing where London is would be a characteristic of someone that is unintelligent.

I'm pretty sure Crowder was being tongue in cheek with those comments. He does it all the time.

That being said, he is no Rhodes scholar.

Just sayin' that the only evidence I've got of Crowder's intelligence is he is not very bright, let alone the brightest on a team

Hey stop drinking the cool aid. I've known jocks in high school that were way worse than challanged and made the National Honor Society. Earth to everybody who thinks HS athletes earned their grades. Gotta kept them on the field right? Get real.... Dumb is as dumb does.

I am just saying though if we can get Pierce for cheap, i think it would be a good move. You cannot say that Akin is better than Pierce. Hopefully though, no one will pick him up before the draft so then we can see if we really need him at that point.

Wow. There are exceptions out there, sure but this is an unfair generalization. My son plays college baseball and most of you would probably be amazed if you sat and did his homework with him even back when he was in high school. Most HS athletes do earn their grades and there are those who realize an education is more important than sports.

3-4 defense would allow a guy like Pierce and Crowder to be on the field together. I would have thought the topic title would call for people's opinions about whether or not Pierce could be a viable option for Miami to consider.

You're right...he's just not the right size. Get over the size thing...because even if he were "too small" or "too big" we've seen lots of guys succeed even though they were ripped for their size or lack thereof.

Most of the guys you named play on fast defenses....Despite Nolan being here, our ILB's will still almost solely be run stuffers, so they should be bigger than most ILB's. 238 won't get it done in out system.

They play on fast defenses because they have fast players.....I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

He'd be lost on the inside trying to fight off blockers, even more so than Akin, IMO.

We'll agree to dis-agree, but Rex Ryan, Dick Labeau, Dom Capers, and Ron Rivera are all guys that like to run that type of D....again, you get players that fit your scheme, and that's why those teams got those players.

Exactly, Nolan wants to bring in guys to fit his "scheme", but every 3-4 team in the league has an ILB that is the same size give or take a few pounds as Pierce except for Miami.Ayodele, Torbor and Crowder were getting sucked up into run blockers not because of their size, but because the NT was non existent.

In fact, you could even argue they couldn't get off blocks because they weren't quick enough.
